FOR OFFERING PREVIOUS EXAMPLES OF YOUR PERSONAL BLOGGING/VIDEO/TWEETING AND FOR TURNING IN YOUR NEUTRAL EXPERTS EXERCISE ON TIME . . . each example replaces one quiz grade with a perfect score, either to your lowest-graded quiz or the highest-weighted quiz.
FOR ATTENDING SESSIONS OF THE JOURNALISM CENTENNIAL WORKSHOP . . . each session you attended with replace your lowest practice story grade with a 4.0 grade.
FOR REWRITING THE FIRST-DAY PERSONALITY PROFILE . . . I will replace your lowest test story grade OR one of the first two video assignments OR one of the first two blog/Twitter assignments with whatever grade you get on the rewrite, as long as the rewrite grade is higher. If not, then I will replace your TWO lowest-scoring practice story grades with 4.0s.
FOR DOING A MULTIMEDIA VERSION OF THE FIRST-DAY PERSONALITY PROFILE in which you use at least two sources, none of which are me or members of my family, I will replace a second test grade story OR one of the first two video assignments OR one of the first two blog/Twitter assignments with whatever grade you get on the multimedia, as long as the multimedia grade is higher. If not, then I will replace your TWO lowest-scoring practice story grades with 4.0s.
FOR GETTING AN OUT-OF-CLASS STORY PUBLISHED, I will replace your lowest test story grade OR one of the first two video assignments OR one of the first two blog/Twitter assignments with the grade you received in the out-of-class story, as long as the published story grade is higher. If not, then I will replace your TWO lowest-scoring practice story grades with 4.0s.
(Speaking of this opportunity, one of you got a second out-of-class story published by spartanedge.com. Way to go!)
IF YOU ARE STILL LOOKING FOR EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND THESE, please see me and I would be happy to arrange for additional extra credit assignments on a case-by-case basis.
THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IN ALL EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENTS is that you are demonstrating to me that you can now correctly apply skills learned in this class that at one time you did not apply as well; that you went above and beyond what we are learning in this class to further educate yourself in journalism; and/or you are demonstrating ability learned on your own prior to this class but applicable here. You can expect any ad hoc extra credit beyond the assignments listed here to include at least one of those components.
I don't care if you messed up earlier; show me you can get it right now and I'm happy to replace earlier grades with something more accurately reflecting where you are at NOW.
All the other rules from our earlier blog post regarding extra credit still applies. Again, the deadline is Dec. 1, but the sooner you get the work to me the sooner I can apply it to your grade and give you a realistic idea of where you're at.
